In less than a week’s time M and I have managed to watch 23 episodes of Lost. Yes, you heard right, the entire first season in practically one sitting. I admit it. I have a full fledge addiction. (I’ve decided it’s my new part-time job (aka "Lost watcher"), since it did take over 20 hours of my time this week). Of course it was a good week to waste here in Holland. Since last Monday it has been nothing but rain, rain and more rain in the "only had 3-weeks-of-summer" city of Amsterdam.
No matter what drama is currently happening in my life, it is nothing compared to the ups and downs of the 40 some odd characters trapped on this mysterious island. If you haven’t yet seen it, the show is absolutely fabulous! I can’t remember the last TV show I watched that was so compelling and utterly addictive. I’ll admit I may also have a small "non-sexual crush" (common, you know the kind) on Evangeline Lily. She’s the best and the kind of star Hollywood needs more of:
Lost's Evangeline Lilly has recently reprimanded the lazy and selfish socialites of the world too concerned about themselves to give to others in need.
"I need to help people or I'd be no better than the Paris Hiltons of the world, waltzing around with their Louis Vuitton bags and their little dogs," said the 27-year-old Alberta native. "Those people couldn't give a rat's a*s if somebody was starving in the street next to them."
Go Lily! Makin’ us Canadians proud!!
I now need to catch up on a few shows from the second season, which will hopefully tide me over until the 3rd season starts in the fall.
So folks, my advice to you is simple: Watch it. Or die.
